Practise/ workshop session on compiling a story for television news

To start creating our sport we have started by conducting some basic research into the question: Do we rely on mobile phones too much ?

Here are a few of the useful facts that I found regarding the subject matter including the health risks connected to the issues.

93% of adults in the UK own a mobile device in 2014.
16% of adults live in a mobile only home in 2014.
83.1 million uk monthly subscriptions in 2014.
171 advarage number of SMS and MMS sent per month per person in 2013

9 out of 10 children own the UK

For a sensible source of primary research we have decide on a vox pop. This allows us to show multiple opinions.

The script

Did you know according to media of com a research study last year showed that more then 92% of adults in the UK own a mobile device.These people on advarage send 171 SMS or MMS message per month. This poses the question do we rely on our mobile phones too much ? 

We asked some member of the public what they thought.

These phones are not used for their usual purposes as much as they used be. A study shows that most phone users are typically using their phone for social networking and email. This means that health scares have also risen as the lack of social interaction is harming the way people communicate in social situations. 

Its biggest impact has been on the youth as they are facing multiple issues such as internet addiction and cyber bulling.  This is only becoming more of a problem as children are exposed more and more everyday to the use of mobile phones and social media. Now we have let 9 out of 10 in the Uk own a mobile phone we have to work out the consequences.
